Review quote

Praise for Halls of Law "Halls of Law begins a fresh, engaging new fantasy series set in a world of marvellous texture and magic. Love this one and can't wait for more!" --Julie E. Czerneda, author of A Turn of Light "The richness of the world is reason enough to immerse yourself in this book. The typical historically based fantasy empire is given a makeover; this is a culture with abundant opportunities for women to wield power, political and otherwise." --Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog "I was drawn in by the comforting prose and stayed fully invested because of the characters and world. Halls of Law is a fun, optimistic Epic Fantasy that proved a welcome change of pace from some of the more grimdark fantasy I'd been reading." --SFFWorld "Kerida's a great protagonist.... She's practical and makes hard decisions about her own survival.... I really enjoyed this and eagerly await the sequel." --Sci-Fi Fan Letter "If you are looking for a new epic fantasy series to sink your reading teeth into...Halls of Law is definitely a winner.... [A]n epic fantasy for the 21st century, where we have an absolutely marvelous heroine's journey from the outset." --Reading Realityshow more
